Comment – Crop a bit of fuzzy BG from left? – Sca (talk) 13:40, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support We should not crop other's images without asking first. Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:39, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support Striking, with a classic crop that combines lead room with balance between the dense log and airy space up left in a very pleasant way. Cart (talk) 11:23, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK. Rule of thirds. -- Sca (talk) 15:00, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thankfully, this is not a "pure" rule of thirds. That so-called rule is just a guide for newbie photographers to keep them from placing everything in the middle. Once you are more confident and advanced in image compo (like JJ Harrison certainly is), you can finetune how you balance the photo with other parameters.

True. Maybe we should call it the concept or guideline of thirds (which does have its uses). -- Sca (talk) 17:10, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
